Woods is facing a wrongful death lawsuit alongside his Jupiter, Florida, restaurant, The Woods Jupiter, and the establishment's manager, Erica Herman, whom Tiger has been dating since 2017. The parents of Nicholas F. Immesberger, who died at age 24 in a December 2018 drunk-driving crash while employed as a bartender at The Woods Jupiter, filed the suit Monday alleging that Woods, Herman and other "employees, management and owners" of the restaurant "over-served a young man they knew was suffering with the disease of alcoholism."

Immesberger had a blood-alcohol level of .256, nearly three times the legal limit of .08, at the time of his death, per CBS News. He was allegedly permitted to drive home following three hours of drinking at The Woods after his shift at the restaurant concluded.
